If you’ve ever wondered how a bettong curls its tail to start carrying a new bundle of bedding… wonder no more 🙂 This friendly bettong gave a nice demo for the #CameraTrap #WildOz #MammalWatching #Tasmania #lutruwita

@agvocate_au @NationalFarmers @VicFarmers @vffStockSense @FarmsafeAust @FarmBiosecurity @biosecurityrisk @VicGovAg Well done @agvocate_au! Similar issues up here over the years, either on foot or vehicles. Esp deer 'season'. Yay for cameras!

@ShireJewels @SuthShireCncl @TSCommissioner An outsider's comment, but mb even supportive locals don't understand the significance of repeated individual disturbances. They see the birds fly off and assume they'll circle, land and resume 'normal' activity once they've gone.

@agvocate_au @AusTSX @DEECA_Vic @ParksVictoria @EnviroVic @VicHub_Drought I know the fox feeling @agvocate_au. Can you elaborate on 'bandicoot motels' thanks.
Sounds like a potentially useful damage mitigation strategy.

Lots of 'silent' crashing around in the Bolly gum next to the back deck today. Eventually identified the suspects. Multiple Wompoo pigeons.. usually heard rather than seen.

I like it!!

[Little Bella Nature Refuge @LittleBellaNR]

Looks too fat for a feral @Dr_Rob_Davis. Someone's unmanaged moggie out on the prowl I reckon. Easier to trap at least.

[Rob Davis @Dr_Rob_Davis]

And what should turn up on my trail camera pics in our bushland but another feral/unmanaged cat. It’s cage trap time.

[Little Bella Nature Refuge @LittleBellaNR]

Fantastic bird, fantastic pic @GlenGrambo !

Very clear, and tragically very real!

Always on the lookout for bustards when driving in SW Queensland. The cry of 'Bustards, bustards!' causes the driver to slow, and the bustards, seemingly realising they've been spotted, to simultaneously slowly exist in the opposite direction!

[Nick Volpe @nvolpewild]

The glorious Australian Bustard!
This large bird used to be common across all of Australia before most of the grassland in the south was destroyed 😞
Still some decent numbers of these magnificent birds in the north!

6️⃣ Shorebirds have a special ability called rhynchokinesis, – they can bend the top part of their bill to grab food buried in mud and wet sand.

'..directing public funds to native forest logging is bad for the economy, the climate and biodiversity..'

[Bob Brown Foundation @BobBrownFndn]

The empirical evidence points in one direction: ending native forest logging in Australia would bring substantial and multiple benefits to society and nature.

Yep, that's pretty special..

[Hume Field @HumeField]

Lovely looking pups @FiHume.
Don't know you, and hard to know who's a puppy farmer and who's not these days...

[Little Bella Nature Refuge @LittleBellaNR]

Nice work Klaus & Murray. Hard scratchy work! I hope you've got gas powered splatter guns. My hand/wrist is buggered after 10 litres these days! Curramore is a beautiful area, just 'down the road' from us here @LittleBellaNR.

[Australian Wildlife Conservancy @awconservancy]

AWC field staff are already making progress on the new parcel of land at Curramore 🌳💪 Land Management Officers Klaus and Murray have been working their way along the creek line to clear the wet sclerophyll forest of invasive weed species Lantana – not an easy job! 📷 A Howe/AWC
